Situated on a gentle to marked E-facing slope. Square enclosure (dims. 80m x 80m) defined by an earth and stone bank (Wth 1.8m) with drystone facing of identical character to the surrounding field boundaries. There are only about twenty headstones, the earliest dating to the early 19th century. No indication of the 'R.C. Chapel' marked at the W on the 1838 OS 6-inch map.
The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Wicklow' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research.
